I2C Clock Permanently Stuck To Logical Low

[Anonymous]

Answer:

Question:  Why PSoC permanently holds SCL line low after it sends an ACK to a received address byte ?

Response: Details given below,

   
• Caused due to a bug in EzI2C user module code
   
• Found in EzI2C user module version 1.2 shipped with PSoC Deisgner 5 SP5
   
• Solution to this problem is to replace existing 'EzI2Csint.asm' template file from below locations with the one attached with this KB article,
     
         
  1. C:\Program Files\Cypress\Common\CypressSemiDeviceEditor\Data\CY8C20060\EzI2Cs
         
  2. C:\Program Files\Cypress\Common\CypressSemiDeviceEditor\Data\psoc_0100\EzI2Cs
         
  3. C:\Program Files\Cypress\Common\CypressSemiDeviceEditor\Data\Stdum\EzI2Cs
     
     

Symptoms:

   
• I2C SCL line is stretched to logic zero permanently from the PSoC side soon after master send a data byte following an address byte
   
• Address byte send by the master is ACK'ed by the PSoC even if it is not its address

Root Cause:

   
• Refer the attached 'pdf' file for details
